Not enough books

Hi all,
It is wonderful to hear middle school teachers doing literature studies with real books!!! Even though the book Guiding Readers and Writers (Fountas & Pinnell, authors) was written for GL 3-6, there are many structures and lessons you could adopt at your level. Check it out. We're doing a professional discussion on the book now, see the link from the Book board. Hope to have you join us.
You might try author or genre studies...choose an interesting and age appropriate author and collect books from the school and public libraries. Have them all read for a few weeks while you do strategy | |
minilessons with the whole group. Each week, ask them to have a book completed and write a 'thoughtful response' for the book they've read. Then you could talk across the books, noting simlarities and differences in each. And if you've got two or three books that are the same, you could have mini-literature conversations going. Best of luck! ;-D
